changed bios settings from RAID to IDE didnt seem to help this has occurred multiple times during playing planet side 2 the game runs fine then suddenly crashes im pretty sure i have the latest drivers and everything is up to date can someone clever help me please

I recommend downloading and running DAP. It can help sort out any driver and firmware related issues on your system

It's worked out well for many of us in the past.

You can download it direct from this link http://downloaddap.org. (This link will open the download page of DAP so you can save a copy to your computer.)

A: BSOD Plannetside 2 (steam) black screen> reboot> BSOD crash report

A stop 0x116 is a display/graphics related issue. Many a factors or components may cause such a BSOD.

First of all, it is the display driver. From your BSOD dumps, I have noticed that it crashed the same irrespective of the driver version over time. So overlooking this part right now. Will concentrate it on later again, if needed.

Next thing is overclocking, which sometimes lead display to crash. And, you are slightly overclocked.

Code:
CPUID: "Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2600 CPU @ 3.40GHz"MaxSpeed: 3400CurrentSpeed: 3411
As the system is crashing, you should stop overclocking. Set all the hardware elements like CPU, GPU and RAM to default; and reset the BIOS to default too. How To Clear CMOS (Reset BIOS)

Heat is another factor. Is the computer hot? Report us the heat of the computer after a couple of hours of your normal usage. Upload a screenshot of the summery tab of Speccy.

Also, dust accumulation causes heat, and dust accumulation depends on the age of the system. How old the system is? If possible, dismantle it and clean the inside carefully .... specially the air vents and fan grills, so that it can blow the hot air out easily. Dont forget to apply thermal paste to the CPU when re-seating the system.

Insufficient power supply is also a great cause of display crash. Check if the CPU is supplying adequate power there or not. eXtreme Power Supply Calculator

It GPU itself may not perform upto the mark. Stress test the Graphics Card using Furmark. Video Card - Stress Test with Furmark

Netbook about 1-2 years old but I have a bad memory.Never re-installed.

Made a thread about this in Hardware and devices, I also thought it might be my USB mouse causing problems because recently I have been getting the USB device is malfunctioned and well all the reboots seem to happen just minutes after my USB mouse is connected.

Filled in System Specs and have got the system report health and dump files.

Hope I did it right.

A:BSOD/Black Screen Reboot

You have an issue with MSE. I suspect it is caused by an incomplete Windows update.

First thing to try:

Quote:
Please go to your Maintenance Center and check the Windows Update status. Make sure you are up to date, do them one by one manually if needed.For help or reset see: Windows Update - Reset

Second (if the above did not immediately solve..)Re-install MSE. and, not sure if you are, but do not use other, possibly conflicting AV/Guard tooling.

The way you describe the problem, it sounds like you do not get dumps. Just in case that is because of incomplete settings, please check:

Quote:
To ensure minidumps are enabled:

Dump Files - Configure Windows to Create on BSOD

Go to Start, in the Search Box type: sysdm.cpl, press Enter.Under the Advanced tab, click on the Startup and Recovery Settings... button.Ensure that Automatically restart is unchecked.Under the Write Debugging Information headerSelect Small memory dump (256 kB) in the dropdown box (the 256kb varies).Ensure that the Small Dump Directory is listed as %systemroot%\Minidump.OK your way out.Reboot if changes have been made.

Next, tryout, as a test, to have a screen in the taskmanager, showing mem usage on, when you plug in the USB. Does it spike and does paging seem to be able to handle it? Or is the spike the moment it reboots/blacks out?

I can play MOH in single player with no problems and I can play in multiplayer with no problem, however when I exit the game from the multiplayer mode my computer will blue screen crash. Now I have Black Ops and my computer will freeze, stutter, and lock up to the point I have to hard crash my computer and when I put the latetest video driver the in-game screen will not fill up my wide screen monitor no matter what I do and I still get the freezes, stutters, and have to either hard crash or if I get lucky enough to exit out of it then it will blue screen crash. I was able to play single player ok this morning but when I tried multi-player I again had to hard crash my computer due to it locking up. I have a new alienware with two gts-240 video cards and no viruses of any sort on my computer.

These were caused by a bad driver (XenoVa64.sys?). Only way to be sure is to run driver verifier.

Beyond that, please run Verifier with these settings:

Quote:
Using Driver Verifier is an iffy proposition. Most times it'll crash and it'll tell you what the driver is. But sometimes it'll crash and won't tell you the driver. Other times it'll crash before you can log in to Windows. If you can't get to Safe Mode, then you'll have to resort to offline editing of the registry to disable Driver Verifier.

So, I'd suggest that you first backup your stuff and then make sure you've got acce... Read more

Hi guys, Recently, my laptop hasn't been able to launch Steam games properly. Games like Maplestory or League of Legends have not crashed my computer. I've tried resetting the pc (aka reinstalling Windows), reinstalling and updating my graphics' card, and reinstalling Steam/Steam games. Troubleshooting through Windows has also not worked. I've been told this may be a software issue. I copied a hardware diagnostics I did from the Lenovo website below. They have said nothing was wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I have a big prob with the pc, screen goes black and i cant do anything.Must use the on/off botton to reboot it, when this happens the major prob comes.No boot found on pc, pc wont boot then i go to the bios and the hd is not in there.I must play with the pc restarting it and if im lucky the hd ''comes'' back and i can reboot and system starts. I can go check the event log to see the errors.Several times now happened to that system was slow. It freeze and i cant do anything.I tho i found a solution, i have read some theads with similiar probsI did boot the pc in clean mood and deactive the half of the services. I was hoping this would help, but not even after 8 hours happened the same thing.I have several errors in the log*A timeout (30000 milliseconds) was reached while waiting for a transaction response from the NlaSvc service.*The Network Location Awareness service failed to start due to the following error: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.*The previous system shutdown at 13:03:22 on ‎2011-‎10-‎21 was unexpected.*The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first.

Hi there, over the last few months my laptop has been frequently crashing when playing games such as Counter Strike: Source, Team Fortress 2, Starcraft 2, as well as others. I'm not exactly sure what is wrong with my computer since it should be capable of handling all of these programs.

It is Windows 7 Home Premium 64.
It is OEM.
The computer and OS Instillation are a bit over a year old.

Greetings, I have an incredibly frustrating problem I hope I can get help with.

The problem I am experiencing is complete crash of my system at random intervals. I lose video, and hard drive lights turn off. I would assume it was acomple shutdown, however, the fans and LED's in the case remain on the power button on the case does not respond and I must manually flip the switch at the back of the power supply to restart. Additionally I was experiencing strange graphical artifacts(vertical lines in windows, strange characters in the POST screen before windows loaded)

I ave ALREADY replaced my power supply and video card as I initially believed those to be the source of the problem. however, after replacement the problem persists albeit with no graphical oddities and less frequent crashes. My guess is the mother board is the source of the problem, but I don't want to replace another part without being sure

My laptop crashs quite regular, black screens and restarts randomly. I used to think it was heat related but the laptop doesn't really get hot. Idles at 38c.

There are no crash dump files at all, i've configured windows to not restart in the event of a crash and to generate a crash dump file. I've also installed a fresh install of windows 7 with only the manufactors drivers and windows updates.

I'm going to upload my system information with the hope that someone can shed some light on this.

With Help from this forum about three months ago I was able to troubleshoot and fix issues with a defective installed Video Driver, but starting about a week ago once again I've been getting BSOD and also freeze-ups [without BSOD] that go to a Black Screen and then I need to reboot.

I had installed the latest Adobe flash upgrade minutes before this crash, after reboot system recommended a boot-up files fix from the menu that went on to restored the previous 'restore-point' configuration, apparently Flash was uninstalled [as Adobe/Flash requested a new install right after the reboot], unfortunately even so the system crashed a minute after again, this time I got a BSOD that reported something related to a Driver, unfortunately I forgot to do a screen-grab.

Hopefully this latest BSOD file dump is uploaded here, Could some one take a look and see which driver or what else could be causing a problem now?

Thanks

Hi mackado,

I'm going to need 1 more log file to deduce the problem.

For the last couple months my PC has been having an issue where the screen randomly freezes and the last sounds that were playing loop and then stop. This can happen while playing a game, be it Hearthstone, Batman Arkham City, any game. Can also happen when using any web based flash, like YouTube, Twitch, etc. But, I have also had freezes about a minute after logging on without even doing any of the above. CPU temperatures right before freeze appear normal, and the fans stay at about the same speeds when freeze happens (at least I don't hear them spinning up). I am forced to do a hard reboot, but it takes a few tries to get the PC to boot because the monitor simply acts like it doesn't detect any video signal upon reboot, I can hear Windows do its boot up sounds, but nothing on screen.

I have a feeling this might be multiple problems linked together.

I included a .zip of my computer's SF Diangostic Tool report.

Thanks for taking a look at this problem, all help is welcome and appreciated.

A:Random System Freeze, no BSOD - Black screen on Hard Reboot

That definitely sounds like a graphics driver related issue, if not then a hardware failure in your GPU. I would recommend updating your graphics driver by booting into safe mode (F8 on startup). Uninstall the current ones via the control panel.Let us know the results.

I was merely resizing a Windows Explorer window on the desktop when the monitor went black for 15-20 seconds, then the mobo splash screen came up, and Windows booted back up. The "Windows shut down unexpectedly" window came up and the details said it was a BSOD. The pertinent log files from the DM Log Collector app are attached.

*edit* I built this system over 3.5 years ago and I've never reloaded or reformatted anything in that time. Maybe it's about time to reformat C: since I have all my data files on a separate drive anyway.

I've had computer problems for the past 3 months although I thought I had fixed it until just tonight I've tried to play Counter-Strike : Global Offensive and within 10minutes of gameplay the pc crashes to a black screen and I can still hear people on ventrilo for a couple of seconds before the sound loops into a glitchy mess. The screen turns black and I have to do a hard reset in order to re-start the PC. No BSOD message appears and only sometimes does a log appear when I use the program BlueScreenView.

Upon restarting PC and reconnecting to my game it took less than 5 minutes each time to crash to a black screen. In the past I was plagued with BSOD/random black screen crashes similiar to this and a memtest result indicated faulty RAM. I replaced my 2x4GB g.skill DDR3 RAM and have not had trouble for the past 3 weeks. I have also recently re-formatted my SSD and downloaded the newest Nvidia drivers but the PC still crashes, occasionly even whilst browsing the web and whilst the PC is idling.

My temps for my GPU/CPU are very stable and are low sitting at about ~40C idle and 50-60 at load. both are running at stock speed and are not overclocked. I ran the program and will include a .zip of what is going on and hopefully one of you will be able to help me. The GPU is only 9 months old and is still under warranty.

One last thing to note was there was always a loud ticking noise with my front fan as a bit of the dust mesh guard near the front panel came loose and was hit... Read more

A:PC Crash to black screen with delayed sound looping no BSOD message

0x116 errors are mostly caused by graphics drivers or a failing graphics card, I suggest running Furmark by following these instructions to rule out the hardware possibility.

New fresh install of windows 8 updated to 8.1 with all my motherboard drivers etc up to date. Display drivers are the newest Omega drivers from AMD.

I installed steam and decided to install csgo to my ssd/C: drive since it's my most played game. Now I can play the game fine but after a short amount of time the game and display drivers will crash giving me a black screen and sound loop. I let it sit there for a while so I could get a bsod and crash dump to happen.

Since then I also updated my ssd to the latest firmware and reinstalled my AMD drivers and the problem still persists. I have no other games installed at the moment so if you wan't me to check if the crash happens with other games let me know.

Here is my debug infoAttachment 56190

A:BSOD playing CSGO Black screen/sound loop crash

Remove Asus bloatware from your PC and try another version of GPU drivers.

This is a strange problem my desktop has had for a fairly long time. Usually, my computer will work fine, start up with no problems for several days in a row. And then..for reasons I don't know, it sometimes will start crashing. Usually the screen goes completely black and the computer completely non-responsive, and it must be hard reset to get any response at all out of it. A few times I've actually seen a brief BSOD, but too brief to actually read it and see what is happening. Sometimes the screen will just freeze where it is, with the last bit of audio that was playing repeating nonstop. The strangest thing about these crashes is they only happen a little bit after or during startup; if the computer is fine for 30 minutes, I know it'll be fine until the next time it's turned off. It has on a few occasions come up with a screen telling me that the CMOS is corrupted. I've had startup repair run, and tried some kind of hard drive diagnostic tool; the startup repair couldn't find a problem, and the tool said the hard drive was good. I've seen it crash this way in the middle of the bios boot, during login, in safe mode; pretty much any time during the first half-hour to hour of the computer being on. But never afterward.

I ran the diagnostic tool; the results are attached to this post. Any help at all would be appreciated.

(In case it has any effect on anything, my computer used to be a Vista and a complimentary upgrade was used to make it windows 7.)

A:Random Crash, Freeze, Black Screen or BSOD shortly after startup.

Hello Xindaris.

It appears that you have tow antivirus programs installed? MSE and Avira? Uninstall Avira. Use Microsoft Security Essentials as your antivirus with windows inbuilt firewall, and free MBAM as the on demand scanner. Download, install and update those, and then run full system scans with both of them, one by one.

My computer either crashes or got frozen repeatedly on the regular mode (not safemode) . Each time it crashes differently . Sometimes it crashed with blue screen each time with a different code, Sometimes black screen, sometimes frozen, mouse cannot move . Sometimes crash or frozen right after starting with just a move out the mouse, but sometimes good for a few days with no problem . Safe mode usually ok, but sometimes it crash too . I tried to run window diagnostic tool and memtest, both are ok . There were one time though after it crash and restart, it ask to run window diagnostic test and it says hardware problem . Anybody knows what's wrong with my computer ? Below are a few image of the screen

ok i have had this problem for quite a while now and it is really pi**ing me off so im hopeing you guys can help me with this problem there is a patch i need but steam cant help me with it even tho i downloaded it from there so what should i do because they will not refund my game and it is really stupid and unfair

Hello everyone, its been ages since i had to come back here on vista forums, i am so bad for this SORRYanyway i am running vista 64, problems started approx 3 or 4 days ago think maybe a update microsoft ! but not sure, anyway i did a system restore to no joy, check for errors etc i have saved the crash reports.it first started while i was running a beta test for a game. but now it crashes on desktop just doing normal stuff.memory is showing up fine as well, all drivers upto date ! here is a copy paste of the crash log

A:BSOD crash report

Have you run a full system scan with your anti-virus and malwarebytes?

When you get the BSOD, do you have time to catch what file is causing the problem? It's near the bottom of the page.

Edit: My PSU died, so I assume that was the cause of the issue this whole time, a half functioning power supply.

This issue occurs whether I am gaming or not, but gaming causes it to occur more often. In fact, my pc crashed typing this post so I'm currently rewriting it all.

When I go to reboot the computer, I notice CPU fans 1 and 2 (top/back) are off. I'm not sure if that means anything, but yesterday I had to reseat my GPU/ram etc. to get my computer bootable due to this issue. I'm not really sure what to do, I've tried many things. I've had this black screen issue for months now..

RAM is fine, memtest doesn't detect any issues. I have tried using only one of the ram sticks at a time as well. I have tried reseating the GPU, putting it into a different slot. Newest GPU drivers. Temps are good, all under 40 idle. Tried Windows 7, Windows 8. HDD and SSD. Making sure all the PSU cables are fully in their place, along with every other cable in the PC. Have taken out all of the PC parts out and rebuilt my PC. Booted PC without CMOS battery. Installed a mobo speaker, and all is normal there. I've tried using the other GPU video headers.

Furmark gets my GPU to 82c under maximum load. My cpu I believe gets to 64c. I can't find any memory dumps, since it's not a BSOD. But I could potentially be looking in the wrong places, Event Viewer only tells me that the PC turned off unexpectedly.

I'm thinking of sending the GPU to MSI, it's still good for warranty and all but I don't even... Read more

A:Black screen and sound loop crash requiring reboot

Please run hardware diagnostics you haven't done.Also make sure your drivers are updated.

I couldn't find the sub-forum for B(lack) SOD, so I'm posting here. Please let me know if this is not acceptable.

I have a problem. After playing Fallout 4 for a while, I started playing Skyrim again. After about a week, Skyrim started crashing and rebooting the computer. I put up with that for a few days, then fired up Fallout 4. It started crashing as well. I started Euro Truck Simulator 2 - same thing.

I tried to create a minidump, following the instructions on your forum for the blue screen of death, but my system so far has refused to do so. I've run the dmlog program, but it doesn't zip the files at the end, telling me I don't have the necessary permissions.I can do that manually, however.Does it create a minidump if the system just crashes to a black screen and then reboots?

I did look at the event viewer, but all it tells me is that the system rebooted without cleanly shutting down, etc.

We do need the DMP file as it contains the only record of the sequence of events leading up to the crash, what drivers were loaded, and what was responsible.

If you are overclocking STOPWe could also use some system information, which you can get easily by running msinfo32.To do that go to start>run>type msinfo32>enter

When it is finished running go to file>save>name it and upload to us here.You may be able to get the DMP files without crashing by booting into safe mode (F8) with networking.

I installed an antivirus program and Adobe Acrobat on Win 7 64 bit ultimate. It requested a system restart. Upon restart, I had a BSOD immediately after the Windows 7 splash screen (before Win requests my user password). Upon BSOD, it auto-restarted my PC and automatically brought me in to Windows repair. After waiting 45 minutes and seeing Windows repair wasn't doing anything, I just turned off and turned on my PC. I got another BSOD. Then, I rebooted again, and it was able to load into Windows.

I've attached my dump file. Any what's causing this and how I can fix?

This has been happening for a while, but didn't seem to be anything other than an annoyance...until I got a BSOD. I have run 2 malware scans and both revealed no issue. I have debugged an analyzed the mini dmp file. (I have restarted this from the XP forum as I mistakenly posted there - Hamluis was helpful, but I need a deeper look into this as do not want to re-image)

Been Experiencing this for 3 months now. I attached the dump files of each crash below

A:Different BSOD at each reboot, Random crash time

Code:
BugCheck C1, {b9726f68, b9726b40, cd0094, 23}

Probably caused by : memory_corruption ( nt!MiCheckSpecialPoolSlop+6e )
The specifics of this bugcheck can be found on my blog here - BSODTutorials: Debugging Stop 0xC1 - Sloppy Bytes and Special Pool

Okay, the dump file doesn't reveal a faulty driver, however, a driver has caused some form of memory corruption. The later dump file revealed Avast as the last running process, this doesn't essentially mean that Avast is causing problems, but it could be a indication since I've seen Avast frequently cause problems in the past.

I'll recommend the removal of avast with avast! Removal Tool, at least for testing purposes.

Remember to install the free version of Malwarebytes not the free trail; untick the free trial box during installation. MSE is the most lightweight and compatible with the Windows 7 operating system

You can also view this thread for a complete free and lightweight security protection combination:Good and Free system security combination.The dump file doesn't reveal much information at all unfortunately, the memory contents seem to be pretty corrupt, since most the useful extensions don't work.

The Problem:I knew better, the last time I opened Nvidia Control panel (Performance) I got this same problem. But I have updated the drivers since then, and now it seems worse. I just opened up the performance tab, I didn't even get to see the settings load before it crashed. I get a quick BSOD flash and then a reboot. It reboots back up without any problems then within a few minutes it reboots again.

I have started in safe mode with network enabled and it hasn't given me any problems.

I started it up today(in safe mode), and in my frustration with not being able to uninstall the nvidia apps, i just deleted all the nvidia folders in my programs. then when i started up in normal mode it was stable. I was able to finish officially uninstalling the rest of the nvidia components and then i did a full reinstall of the drivers and software. so far so good! Thanks for your ideas!

These BSOD's seem to be very intermittent. I believe it's from my graphics card, since this wasn't happening prior to my upgrade. I have 3 drives in my machine, 80GB intel SSD (Boot), and 2 more data drives. 1TB WD Black for regular data and a Samsung 840 Pro SSD for my steam games. The samsung does not get initialized after the crash. Could you please take a look at the dump and let me know what I can do to fix it. Thanks.

A:BSOD crash; reboot a data drive is not enabled

There are enough signs here that I have to wonder about this installation. Should this be a pirated copy of Windows, please be aware that we may not be able to fix it (as the hacks that were done to activate it will cause the OS to behave differently than we expect it to). If that's the case, our efforts to help may just waste your time. Secondly, the forum rules prohibit assisting with pirated software - so the topic would be closed if that is the case.

The Samsung SSD does not show in the reports. It could be the SSD or the controller on the motherboard. Remove the SSD and test the system to see if that stop the BSOD's. Read the rest of this before trying this - it may not be necessary as it'll be easier to update the controller driver than it will be to test the SSD.

These problem devices are present in Device Manager:

Intel(R) HD Graphics PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_0152&SUBSYS_01521849&REV_09\3&11583659&0&10 This device is not working properly because Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device.

I went on a business trip out to California, and while out there my desktop started having problems. I do not know if it is something the kids installed or if it is hardware related.

At first I thought it was something installed, because that is usually what the problem turns out to be. But the particulars of the symptoms seem more hardware related, but so far everything I know how to check has turned out ok there as well.

Windows XP SP2.

The error message we find in the System event viewer is Event 1003 (not paired with a 1001):

The symptoms are that the machine will either flash a BSOD or will simply go black and try to reboot. 90% of the time when this happens, the machine will not even make it to the BIOS check-- it will just sit there, screen black, with the drive crunching-- for about an hour. If I unplug it, after about an hour it will boot or if I don't unplug it, it will eventually boot (generally after about an hour of spinning its wheels).

I have attached a zip file with minidumps.

Can someone with more skill in this area help me try to figure out what the problem is so I know what to fix? Thanks!

A:BSOD or Go-Black, 1000007f, Won't Reboot For A While

Other things I have tried so far:

Complete virus scan. No problems.Complete Spyware scans (Spybot and Adaware)Memory check. No problems on five scans. When I left it just repeating overnight, it rebooted (I am guessing for the same reason).

Okay the issue I've got isn't really the Blue Screen so much as it is everything that's happening before it.

I'll be using TeamViewer and running another program be it a game or a video and sometimes nothing at all and I'll get a Black Screen, sometimes if TeamViewer closes the screen will go back to normal, only my Webcam won't work like it was and it says it's in use by another Application, I've checked and updated all drivers, and I seem to be having this issue.

I have been plaqued with this problem for several months and need assistance. The CPU and case temps are well within normal, all USB devices were unplugged and I cannot trace the source of this. I've attached some of the minidump files for anyone who can decipher them.

Thank you

Hi
I had a look at your minidumps

2 crashes at vetefile.sys. AFAIK, this is part of EZ AV software. Upgrade to the latest version or uninstall it.

I have recently built a computer ( 2 days ago ) and have been having trouble when attempting to play the new game Star wars the old republic. After about 5 minutes my system crashes and restarts instantly to the same prompt when you force a shut down or lose power. All indications pointed me at hardware so I bench marked and stress tested but found no issues and no overheating of my Graphics card or CPU. after searching forum posts and what not the only thing I have found is I am getting Event log entries for Critical errors relating to kernel Power. I have replaced my Graphics card and wiped my hard drive and re-installed all drivers up to do date and windows several times to no avail. This issue only seems to happen when running that game other than that my computer performs beautifully and usually loads windows before the loading animation has even finished. The only things I have install are development tools ( Visual Studio 2010 pro, SQL Server 2008 r2 Express ) Star wars The Old Republic, and a few monitoring applications to check temps and loads. If you could please help point me in the right direction as to if / what is causing this problem it would be greatly appreciated.

My system specs are as follows:
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate x64 ( Retail ? it was download edition image from Microsoft )
It is the only OS I have installed on this computer

The hardware is all brand new
Currently the OS installation is only 2 days old.

No memory dumps in the uploaded reports. When this happens with Error 41 events, it's usually symptomatic of a hardware problem occurring beneath the threshold that Windows can recognize.

Only 61 updates since SP1 - most systems have 70 or more. Please visit Windows Updates and get all available updates.

We've seen a number of BSOD issues with SSD's recently. Here's the information that I've compiled:

There's not a whole bunch available to test SSD's. The "easiest" test is to remove the SSD, install a platter-based hard drive, install Windows and test for stability that way.

Here's some suggestions: - Update the SSD's firmware to the latest available version (VERY IMPORTANT!!!)- Slow the memory (RAM) down to the next slower speed (I've only seen one person who claimed that this worked for them).- Use any manufacturer's utilities that you may have. If you don't have any, then try this free one (I haven't used it myself): Crystal Dew World- Update chipset and storage controller drivers to the latest available from the manufacturer of the device (not the manufacturer of the motherboard). Be sure to update ALL controllers on the motherboard!....NOTE: Recently (Nov 2011) we had BSOD issues with the Marvell 91xx controller and an SSD. You may have to switch controllers also.- Replace the SSD with a platter based hard drive and see if that stops the BSOD's. If it does, then it's likely that there's a problem with the SSD OR an...

Hi !! First time here (as many I think, so Hello again !!)First of all, I'm French (well, excuse me for my (sadly) bad english ). I've seen many BSOD marked as answered, so I'm trying here 'cause I've exhausted all my skills .

Bug Description: Before wiping win 7:BSOD and freeze time to time on WebBrowsing, log on screen, Steam Description. Always BSOD hal.dll (hal+0x12A3B)

After wiping Win 7 : - BSOD on The Witcher 3 (only game reinstalled ^^) (almost everytime same same moment, same moment). And everytime on Steam in any game description. Clicking on game, video charging 2 sec and freeze or BSOD.

Background: I have performed a new Windows 7 Ultimate x64 SP1 installation 3 days ago, and still nothing.What I have tried :- MemTest with solo memory, and with both memory- OCCT for GPU/CPU/Power Supply- Hd Tune for SSD/HDD- Almost all drivers up to date (not all but GPU, SDD Firmware, BIOS, and some others)- Up to date Win 7- Tried uplug all component except SSD (OS), and the BSOD was still there but many minutes later as usual- Change RAM slot and playing with 1 ram only- no Overcloking performed - 100% fan speed and heat never go higher than 65? Celsius for GPU and 60 for CPU on stress mode- Safe Mode and no freeze on Steam (althrough I can test The Witcher 3 on Safe mode ^^)

Config on my description for major components !

I'm really need help on this one, and I hope I have created the thread like you want. (Say anything and I'll correct without questi... Read more

A:BSOD Steam Games & Freeze (always) on Steam error 0x124

Stop 0x124 is usually a hardware related issue, but actually it may be caused by anything and everything in the computers environment. Unfortunately the crash dumps are not very effective for the 0x124 BSODs.

Please read this: Stop 0x124 - what it means and what to try

Read the article carefully. Proceed with the remaining tests. Let us know if any assistance or clarification is needed.

In the last 48 hours I downloaded Skype and BOINC (Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing). I also updated my drivers for my AMD Radeon HD 6950 video cards (as part of attempting to resolve a BSOD related to ATI drivers.When attempting to play any Call of Duty games on Steam, I will either get a black screen that then closes itself, or a BSOD. Also, when BOINC starts, I get a BSOD every time. I have uninstalled both BOINC and Skype since the issue started shortly after installing those two programs, updated my video drivers, performed repair installs on DX and VC++. Additionally, I deleted the "appcache" folder from Steam thinking that perhaps I had corrupted data there as the application will recreate that folder if it is missing. Lastly, I tried removing all local content for the games giving me issues and reinstalling them which when reinstalling COD:MW3 from disk causes a BSOD when I switch from Disk 1 to Disk 2. I have run out of ideas, and am hoping that the below files will assist someone in helping me.

*Update: While typing this post, my computer has done something new. An error message popped up stating that Windows Defender is turned off, and Microsoft Security Essentials is turned off.

My laptop crashed last night after AVG caught and removed a threat. Unfortunately I did not see what the threat was or which file was removed. Now whenever I reboot the laptop it freezes at the user login screen and gives me the BSOD and reboots.

I can thankfully load in safe mode so I have been trying to figure out what the problem is. I'm hoping you guys can help with that. Because I am only in safe mode, I cannot load the Performance Logs & Alerts to attach the file but I have included the dump info.

I tried system restore twice and neither time did it resolve my problem.

Hello. I am experiencing some random BSODs. It happens no matter what program is running. It could be in a game, surfing the internet, or listening to music. It is very random. Happens about once every two days on average. Some days are worse.

I have tried running driver verifier, but it would still only bsod occasionally, except it would bsod on startup instead of being in the desktop and getting a bsod.

I have also ran memtest x86 a few times and found no errors.

My windows 7 is:-x64 bit Professional Edition-Original OS installed on my system (I built the system)-Full retail.-Built my system over the summer. Been getting occassional BSODs ever since. -OS installation is about 4 months old.

Hey all,
Recently (two weeks ago) I purchased an Ash's Republic of Gamers G74SX-DH72 laptop. I turned it off while it was booting and now here's the problem:
boot screen (Says ASUS)
Then, start up screen (says boot normally, other options, etc.)
then, windows 7 loading screen.
After this, it BSODs for half a second and goes back to the ASUS screen. Please help; I need this for homework.

A:Need help quick; half second BSOD to reboot screen.

That's a serious problem turning off a computer while it is booting up.Let's try this:As the computer is being turned on tab F8 repeatedly.This will take you to a window where you can select "safe mode"In this mode not all your drivers will load.Windows 7 have a repair function. Use it, go to the control panel and there will be a section called system and security. Down at the bottom of that page make sure the check mark is check for troubleshooters. Then let the computer find the error and repair it. Audio has its own section. 2. Go to the run menu and type in msconfig< then go to the start up tab < you will see a list of all the start up items. uncheck most of them ;leaving all microsoft items checked. then try and reboot and see if the computer boots. You can always go back and re-enable them by rechecking them.Let's start here and I will monitor this thread.dalemay

I suggest starting all troubleshooting with the following diagnostic tests (located at this link: Hardware Diagnostics ). They'll save you a lot of time and heartache if there is a hardware failure, and you'll have the disks on hand in case you need them in the future:

Thank you.

Several problems here1- Iastor.sys (your raid driver) was blamed for the crashes. I would re-install newest (yours from 4/2010)

2-Your Avast. Known to cause bsod's on some systems. Plus you have (mfetdik.sys) which (I believe) is a remnant of Mcaffee.

A:Crash with opening a game from steam and get blue screen

We do need the DMP file as it contains the only record of the sequence of events leading up to the crash, what drivers were loaded, and what was responsible.

If you are overclocking STOPWe could also use some system information, which you can get easily by running msinfo32.To do that go to start>run>type msinfo32>enter

When it is finished running go to file>save>name it and upload to us here.You may be able to get the DMP files without crashing by booting into safe mode (F8) with networking.

To enable us to assist you with your computer's BSOD symptoms, upload the contents of your "\Windows\Minidump" folder.

The procedure:

Quote:
* Copy the contents of \Windows\Minidump to another (temporary) location somewhere on your machine.* Zip up the copy.* Attach the ZIP archive to your post using the "paperclip" (file attachments) button.*If the files are too large please upload them to a file sharing service like "Rapidshare" and put a link to them in your reply.
